Colour Your World

COLOUR  your World- Its a gift from GOD *



Hi....Lovely to see you here again.... (I'm an Emu by the way.)
I am thinking about colours, where would we be without them?
Life would be so drab and depressing.

Colours lift your mood and make you feel happy.
Many creative artists have taken an old grey wall and face-lifted it with colour.

My hubby Ray standing in front of Steve Irwin's wall at Australia Zoo near where we live.
Sadly Steve went home to the Father in 2007 after receiving a stringray barb to the heart.
Steve was a happy hearted man, one that loved his family and devoted his life to animal conservation.

I would rather look at a picture than a wall....


Memories of the past depicted on a library wall.
So colour your world with happiness..


The Lords Word from Me to You..
"May the Lord bless thee and keep thee:
May the Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
May the Lord lift up His countenance upon thee,
And, give thee, peace."Amen.

Faith as Strong as a Tree


 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his     fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalm 1:4    "Praise the Lord!!"


I liken people to trees.
If our roots of faith run deep we will remain strong through all adversity.
As a child I learnt to sing the song.
"Just like a tree planted by the water side, I shall not be moved."
That illustration is a good one.
Especially for those of us who do live near the water.
In case you don't, I am sharing the Pandanus Tree.




Note the roots of this Pandanus Tree. There are many!! and they dig down deep into the soil to hang on tightly. When the ocean roars and the strong cyclonic winds rip away the sands of the coast, that tree is secure. Nothing pulls it up or throws it away.
                                   

  

                          This one defies nature to try and uproot it.
                             It stands confident balanced and strong.





Maybe the reason we have so many of these trees along the Queensland coastline is because they refuse to be moved.

How about you and I? Can we also stand firm and strong through the winds and adversities of life? Or do we bend and sway? To be truthful I have had my times of  finding it difficult to hang tight. Yet with a God who loves me, and in whom I can find shelter, there is a refuge from the storms....

"On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand."

No other faith gives a certainty on Eternal Life.
No other than Jesus, died for us.........

POSSIBLE CANCER CURE

Fruit of the native Blushwood Bush.

Queensland life science company EcoBiotics announced that, following very promising results in treating inoperable tumours in horses and dogs, it was fast-tracking development of the company’s lead cancer drug, EBC-46, into HUMAN clinical trials.



EcoBiotics CEO, Dr Victoria Gordon said “This decision marks a very exciting time for our company. The results from using EBC-46 to treat a range of inoperable tumours in horses and dogs are just so compelling” she said “and this gives us a great deal of confidence that the drug will also work effectively and safely in humans”. EBC-46 is a novel small molecule isolated from a Queensland rainforest plant which works very rapidly by recruiting the patient’s own immune system to destroy the treated tumours. “You can almost see the tumours shrink before your eyes – it is absolutely amazing” said Gordon. “It also has the advantage that it is relatively easy to administer causing minimal trauma to the patient, and unlike most chemotherapy agents, EBC-46 is safe and to date we have seen no significant side effects”. EBC-46 works by activating the bodies own immune system. 
When infection attacks the body white blood cells multiply to fight and kill the micro-organisms. With cancer these cells become entrapped forming a toxic unit.
EBC-46 injected into a cancer mass breaks it down enabling the white blood cells to break free and fight, killing off the cancer in a natural body eliminating occurrence.

Praise God! He gives us the remedies.
All we need to do is discover them.

"Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
  Praise Him all creatures here below
  Praise Him above. ye Heavenly Hosts
  Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen"

GOD IS MIGHTY !!

SOME FROG....Spiritual Sundays




And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind."
And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds.
 (Genesis 1:20-25)

Giant Cane Toad

A conservation group captured a giant cane toad in the Australian city of Darwin.
The beast weighed 840 grams (1.8 pounds) and measured 20.5 cm (8 inches).
The toad was captured as part of a publicity-seeking round up of the amphibian which is considered a problematic invasive species in Australia.
The poisonous toad has wreaked ecological havoc on native species and killed pets and livestock.
Introduced from Hawaii in 1935 at the urging of sugar cane growers in Queensland who were suffering from an infestation of crop-damaging beetles, the cane road rapidly established itself as one of the most costly alien invasive species in the history of Australia. Not only did the cane toads fail to control the beetle outbreak -- they couldn't jump high enough to eat the insects -- they feasted on Australia's rare and endemic birds, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals.

  
The Good News:
Cane Toads have been used as an implement to inform people of environmental problems.
And, we all need to be aware and understand this important issue.
